Monthly shoot - I did it...can you?

[Lazyme]

Nice! I have been twice now, it is down Watt ave about 20 min from me.

I have only made it on the weekends so far and there was a wait both times. It actually cleared out about 7:00 with plenty of open space.

Do you have a set schedule that you go? Maybe a few of us could get together some time.

[Mullins]

No set schedule but I Plan to go again soon!

If anyone does have a regular shooting schedule/time at The Gun Range I wouldn't mind trying to make it.

Welcome!

I definetly would like to join in on the monthly shoots, and I plan on getting CGN paraphenalia at the gunshow in Nov. I live about 5 min away from The Gun Range, so I can help assist with getting something going over there if needed.

Welcome Phoy94 & thanks for stopping by gunace89!!

We hope you can both joint us on the 27th, I will add you to my PM list and send you some info in the next few days.

Gunace - the Gun Range has been packed both times I showed up. Once dinner time passed and it got a little later it cleared out pretty good, maybe about 7ish. Have you noticed a time when there wasnt a wait? That would be the best time to organize a shoot and it is easy to do, just pick a time and date then let everyone here know about it. If you build it they will come. PM me if you want to help out, we would love to set something up at The Gun Range!!

I hope you plan on adding Linoln Dillman range to the meetup schedule. I have been out to the Sacramento range and it is GREAT, but over an hour drive from the Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln area.

I was there on Columbus Day and last Saturday both at about 9am and there was no waiting. Started filling up about 11am.

Hey guys,

In case I don't find this in the future if there is a range shoot at Lincoln on the weekends in the future please pm me to let me know as I'd like to come. With deer season wrapping up I've got more weekend availability. I was practically born with a gun in my hand and have been hunting for 20+ years. I'd love to be able to try other guns out and return the favor with what I have.

UPDATE on the Sacramento Monthly Shoots.

This thing is taking off like a rocket, and evolves every other day.

Originally, we thought it would be simpler to just have it at one range all the time. However, apparently we need to rotate the shoot to other ranges, due to geography and distance. It will be the last weekend of each month until further notice.

We're collecting the handles and locations of Sacramento area CGN'ers, to try to figure out how far people would actually drive. Maybe a 20 mile one way trip? Tell me what you think here, but PM me or Lazyme with your handle, first name and general location to get on the mail-list for events. We'll keep your info confidential, I promise.

Currently, we're considering the following:

• Sac Valley in Ione,
• Lincoln,
• Yolo Sportsmens Assn in Davis
• The Gun Range (maybe for evening shoots).

Since everyone is hungry after shooting, each month we think we'll have a casual, self-pay lunch meetup after the shoot, maybe pizza or mexican. Maybe sometime we'll barbecue at the range. But food!

We're working with the other C3's to get goodies for door prizes and raffles at the monthly shoot ( "first 10 to sign in get a Calguns patch" or something like that). There are some budget considerations to this but we're working on it.

It also seems that we might have one 'official' Sacramento Monthly Shoot, but also some more casual shoots, like "the Wednesday Night Club", or the " Geezer Breakfast Shoot", "Calguns-the Next Generation", for the young shooters, or whatever. Anyone interested in this idea? People have weird schedules and can't always shoot on weekend mornings. YOU tell ME what you'd like for casual shoots, if any. (You run 'em, we'll announce 'em).

Are people interested in non-shooting events, like meet-up for a barbecue, or lunch or coffee and talk guns? Swap meet parties?

So let me or Lazyme know what you want. If you like other ranges, tell us. If you can help us out, even once, tell us.

Step up and speak out!

I typically go during the weekdays, in the afternoon so its dead typically. On the weekends the best time to show up would be before 1030 hrs. Around 1100 the place begins to fill up, and by 1300 hrs dont even try.

I generally always have to try and do these events as close to home as I can due to my work schedule and my family obligations. I can generally get to the range any Thursday if we want to get a weekday event going. Both of us off that day, so I can be absent for longer times. As for me making it to lunch after this upcoming shoot, it depends when we finish up at Sac Valley. I'll have to leave regardless at about 1PM as I have to go home and unload everything, get changed and get to work.

Hey all!
I am glad to see we are gaining some steam here, it seems that Sacramento has a lot of people who want to gather we just need to get more organized and spread the word.

Bonnie and myself are getting pretty mixed in with the C3 (Calguns Community Chapters) group and finding out how everything runs at the moment. Every month should be better than the last as we get more in line with the way things run, this is only the second event and it is already made some great improvements from last month.

It is easy for either Bonnie or myself to help out and point you in the right direction if you feel like starting your own shoots, just send us a PM and we can get you involved. Here is a quick description of what it takes...

Step one...Pick a location.
Step two...pick a date and time.
Step three...post it on Calguns!
Let the fun begin!

We are here to help so if you have any ideas or just want to help at one of the events let us know!

I have been going to THE GUN RANGE on Monday or Tuesday after 5:00 and it is not busy. Great time to get together for a meet and to shoot rimfire match targets. We could probably get our own 5 lanes.
